This charming villa, located along the shoreline of Lake Orta within walking distance of the small village of Crabbia, offers guests an opportunity to enjoy beauty and nature in a peaceful setting. Many water sports are available in the area, including swimming, boating, water skiing, and scuba diving. There are horseback riding stables nearby, as well as two golf courses; or you can just sit back, take it easy, and enjoy the view.

Villa Ceramica is above and overlooking the lake; it is not on the lake shore. A stepped path leads from the villa down to the lakeshore road (about 150 meters).

The entrance to Villa Ceramica leads through a beautiful garden into a courtyard.

On the ground floor there is one double bedroom with en suite bathroom (with tub), and a storage/laundry room with a washer and an extra refigerator.

A lovely staircase leads to the second floor, surrounded on two sides by a balcony. This is the main living area of the villa. The spacious, elegant living room has a fireplace, comfortable furniture and large French doors. Satellite television and DVD player are now available. The kitchen is small but well-equipped, and there is a breakfast room with a table for six. There is also a large bathroom on this level, with a tub and beautiful antique mirror, as well as a study with a collection of art and botanical books, and a double bedroom with en suite bath (with tub) that can be accessed from the balcony. Across the balcony is a beautiful, spacious patio with a dining table for ten, and plenty of comfortable sofas and chairs.

The master bedroom is located on the third floor and has a fireplace and a large en suite bathroom with both tub and stall shower. Windows frame a view of the lake. A few steps up lead to a passage with a bed of 120 cm, a nursery with crib, and a large mansard with twin beds (beds can not be joined).

Outside, a long path leads to the private dock and bathing area.. At the bottom of the path, you must cross a road to reach the lake. Children must be watched and helped across the road. In front of the crossing is a little ferry launch and the gate to the dock. Please note that there are some steps here that could be difficult for those with walking difficulties. There are many possibilities to follow footpaths leading to the towns and villages along the lake, and to the forest and the mountains.

From October to May, there is a maximum of 6 guests permitted at Villa Ceramica.

Prices on request.
